MS TORNADO

[W. Grant Dade]

Here is a clip from the storm I filmed in Desoto county Mississippi. I have learned the hard way about my autofocus. I am new to filming. The tornado was rated an F-1.

Very nice. The rainbow is kewl. Any damage reports?

 

[Mike Johnston]

Very good, Grant! Gosh, all weekend I thought we had only arm-chair chasers on these storms in the south.

 

[W. Grant Dade]

Yes, the roof off of the Nissan Plant in Olive Branch was torn off and one house sustained major damage to its roof. There were five houses I think in the same neighborhood with damage, but it was light. The F-1 damage happened in the housing develpoment.

That's awesome. It's nice to see some non-plains tornadoes caught by a chaser!

Good catch! Hope this season allows you more like it!

Good catch man! I wasnt able to get down to DeSoto Co.

The damage was very scattered throughout Olive Branch. There was a pretty big hole in that roof. I could see completely through it. There was jungle gym in the backyard so that might have been tossed through the roof, or the tornado could have descended on top of the house.
